The Republican nominee for president in 2024, Donald Trump, criticized Vice President Kamala Harris, the presumptive Democratic presidential nominee, for attempting to change her positions on significant issues like energy, immigration, crime, and health care through press aides instead of addressing them directly.
Trump stated that this approach will not be sustainable for Harris in the long run, stating, “I don’t think that’s going to fly, she can’t do a press conference.”
During a one-hour interview with Breitbart News at his opulent Mar-a-Lago resort and club on Thursday evening, Trump made comments regarding Harris.
Recently, Harris’ press staff has been issuing statements to various media outlets, often anonymously, altering her long-standing positions on issues such as fracking bans, “Medicare-for-All” healthcare, immigration, and crime policy.
However, Harris herself has not clarified whether she has genuinely changed her stance on these matters or provided reasons for any shifts.
American voters are left to rely on these anonymous aides to understand Harris’ purported new positions since she continues to avoid holding a press conference or conducting a media interview to explain herself.
Harris has made numerous recent flip-flops, but perhaps the most egregious one was on fracking, prompting the New York Post to dub her “Kama Kameleon” on Monday morning.

During her 2020 Democratic presidential campaign, Harris explicitly stated that she would implement a fracking ban if elected president. However, a few weeks ago, an anonymous campaign aide informed the Hill newspaper that she no longer supported this position, despite the candidate herself not making any public statements or explanations on the matter.
This issue is crucial in American energy and economic policy and has significant political implications in battleground states like Pennsylvania.
Despite this, many in the media have assumed that Harris changed her stance based on the anonymous aide’s comments.
In an interview with Breitbart News, Trump emphasized that Harris’s energy views are extreme and radical and could severely harm the U.S. economy.
“On energy, she wants everything to be run by the wind,” Trump said. “It’s crazy. She will destroy our country. Germany went that path for two years under [former Chancellor] Merkel. One of the reasons that Merkel is not there anymore is that the opposing party said, ‘We’re ruining our economy.’ Wind is very expensive energy. It frankly doesn’t work. It’s intermittent if the wind is blowing. The whole thing is crazy. In Germany, they took out the coal plants and everything else, and now they’re building a plant a week under the new government. They know it doesn’t work, and yet, they consistently want to do it. They know electric trucks don’t work. They have to stop six times from New York to California. Diesel stops not once.”
Trump said that his debate preparation will be straightforward, as it is simply “common sense” that Harris is a mess on the issues.
“She wants open borders. She wants to defund the police. She’s always wanted that. She’s never changed. Now, she wants to change,” Trump said. “She wants to say things she doesn’t believe in. She actually believes in defunding the police. She actually and absolutely believes in open borders. She was the border czar for three and a half years, and she was the worst border czar in history. She never even went to the border. They said she went once; she went to a section of the border that has nothing to do with the problems. She was a terrible border czar. Millions of people have come in. I think 20 million people have come into our country. It could be even more than that, especially with the got-aways. The got-aways are brutal. They’ve come in from all over the world, not just South America. Many, many terrorists have come into our country. Look, she wants to defund the police, and she always has. She has helped people that wanted to destroy our country like in Minnesota; she helped them get out of jail. People died in Minnesota. They went after the federal courthouse. They went after everything.”
Trump informed Breitbart News that Harris’s track record of unsuccessful candidacy, citing her underwhelming performance in the 2020 Democratic presidential primaries, does not augur well for her prospects in 2024.
He further expressed surprise at President Joe Biden’s decision to select Harris as his vice president, considering how “nasty” she had been towards him, despite the fact that he had secured the nomination.
“I watched her—look, there were 14 candidates running, and she was the first one to get wiped out,” Trump said. “I didn’t think she was good in debates at all. I thought she was terrible. She was nasty to him, but other than that—she was very nasty to him. I was shocked when he picked her because she was the nastiest. The people didn’t like what she was doing. The people didn’t like her. She never made it to Iowa. She quit almost immediately.”
Trump stated that Harris will need to publicly address these significant issues in the near future.
He also noted that career politicians like Harris tend to be truthful when initially taking a radical position on a matter, and it is not genuine when they attempt to retract it later on.
“She’s going to have to explain,” Trump said. “Why did she want open borders and now she wants a wall? Always, when that happens, I’ve seen it for years in politics, you have politics and you have a politician. He says something early on like, ‘I want a wall. I want this.’ That’s always the position. ‘I want to defund the police.’ She wants to defund the police. Now, all of a sudden, she’s saying, ‘No, I didn’t really mean that. I didn’t really mean that.’ All of these policies add up to the way that that is what she really wants to do. She actually thinks defunding the police is good.”
Trump also claimed that Harris’s running mate, Minnesota’s Democratic Governor Tim Walz, supports defunding the police.
According to Trump, Walz declined to deploy National Guard troops to safeguard Minneapolis during the 2020 riots, which led to the abandonment of a police precinct as rioters set fire to the city.
“So does the governor of Minnesota. He thinks defunding the police is good. He’s actually said it,” Trump said. “He gave the police very little protection. When they chased the police out of the precinct, do you remember that? He wouldn’t send in the troops. I was responsible for sending in the National Guard. If I didn’t send in the National Guard, I’ll tell you, Minneapolis wouldn’t even exist today. He wouldn’t do it. We were calling him saying, ‘Send in the Guard. Send in the Guard.’ He wouldn’t do it.”
